you said, "Which is additional circumstantial evidence that he renounced his Cuban citizenship when receiving US citizenship."

and now you say, "and when Cruz Sr adopted US citizenship, he dropped only Canadian citizenship, suggesting again that the Cuban had already been dropped."

So why do you you believe there is evidence that he renounced his Cuban citizenship in 2005, if you believe that he already lost his Cuban citizenship?

and why do you believe that he was allowed to retain his Canadian citizenship for thirty years after leaving the country?

You follow up with, "So, odds are Cruz Jr has only US citizenship and Canadian citizenship, if he hasn’t already dropped it."

Has someone also suggested that Ted Cruz was a citizen of another country besides Canada and the U.S.?

As you stated earlier, according to Canadian law in 1970, a Canadian citizen could not have dual citizenship, so according to you, how could he have also been a citizen of the U.S.?

Cruz JR’s Canadian citizenship was originally a surprise to Cruz, but some were saying he had it and were pressing that issue at the time. And, since the law has changed since his birth, then he might well have been grandfathered in by the new law. At birth he was under the law of 1947. The law of 1977 might well have somehow grandfathered him in.

I’m not sure what you find objectionable to Cruz Sr dropping his Canadian citizenship formally. He says he did so, and I do believe that he had renounced his Cuban citizenship on acquiring Canadian citizenship. That best fits the facts. I don’t have a document in front of me, so it’s conjecture from the known facts.

Therefore, it was not necessary for him to drop it again when he dropped his Canadian citizenship on acquiring US citizenship. Since he mentions dropping the Canadian at that time, and doesn’t mention the Cuban at all, then it seems reasonable again to assume he had already dropped the Cuban.
